The geography is not as random as one could assume at first glance. Area and position are significant. Thus, each community’s geographic area represents its estimated size, and the ‘compass-shaped island’ gives clues as to what each quarter signifies: * North are more ‘practical’ communities, * South is for the ‘intellectuals’. * West lie the communities with a ‘real life’ connection, * East those with a focus on the web itself. chokladbollen Tue, 15 Apr 2008 09:34:36 GMT http://radar.oreilly.com/archives/2008/04/worldwide-social-network-market-share.html Via Azeem Azaar's twitter feed, a great visualization of worldwide social network market share, from Le Monde: chokladbollen Tue, 15 Apr 2008 09:57:02 GMT http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/semantic_wave_2008_free_report.php Project10X has just released a 400-page study of semantic technologies and their market impact, entitled Semantic Wave 2008: Industry Roadmap to Web 3.0 and Multibillion Dollar Market Opportunities.
